Verdict
WHERES MAUD GONE was impressive at Thurles in November. Her new yard has been in cracking form lately and the Yeats filly, who changed hands for £75,000, can defy her penalty. Condesa, who cost €50,000 as a three-year-old, is related to winners including the useful Lieutenant Rocco so it will be interesting to see how she goes on debut but none of the others make much appeal.
